Direct photons and thermal dileptons: A theoretical review

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We discuss the measurement of electromagnetic radiation produced in heavy ion collisions at SPS energies. We review the low invariant mass dilepton sector, the real photon data, and the spectra of intermediate mass dimuons. Along with this, we discuss the theoretical interpretations of those observables.
